This penthouse apartment welcomes you to enjoy the magic of city living. Outside, you can admire the views while relaxing on the private terrace – which also includes a fireplace and a smart TV. Inside, the open-plan living room lends itself perfectly to laidback gatherings, while the bedrooms offer a wonderful sense of privacy (each room has an en-suite bathroom). It’s worth noting the apartment is set across two floors, but this is a great option for families and groups in search of luxurious ease and comfort. And when it comes to location, you’ll find everything you could need is within walking distance. From here, it’s just a short stroll to Kensington High Street and Hyde Park.

About Kensington
Affluent and incredibly central, Kensington is a great base for exploring London on foot. Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park are on your doorstep and so are the Victoria and Albert, Science, and Natural History Museums. The streets are attractive and well maintained (grand, white stucco facades aplenty) and your neighbours will be a wealthy, conservative set. Lots of positives but probably not the place to let your hair down.
